美军向叙利亚反政府组织空投轻武器
The U.S. military said Monday said it had airdropped small arms ammunition for Syrian rebel groups currently fighting the Islamic State inside Syria.
美国军方周一宣称，他们已向叙利亚国内目前正在同伊斯兰国战斗的反政府组织空投了轻武器。
Spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition campaign Steve Warren said the US side will not have any further details about the groups that received these supplies for operational security.
It is reported that the U.S. military delivered 50 metric tons of ammunition to rebel groups in northern Syria by using an air drop of 112 pallets.
Last week the US government announced its plan to shift from building a Syrian force against the IS to supporting existing rebel groups.
The shift was a recognition of the failure of U.S. President Barack Obama's anti-IS training program which initially sought to recruit 5,400 Syrian rebels each year for three years.
